# I don't really like Blackjack. After 5 or so hands it's boring as hell.
Texas Hold 'Em. It's my favourite game, even more so than Monopoly.

Exactly. It's about the play. More chance of winning.

# I bumped into 3 guys I used to go to school with as a nipper
and they all make a living as "professional" online poker players... essentially they live at home and they wait until late at night and on the weekends when people are sleepy and drunk and they take money off them in poker games.

Scum.

# So do sunglasses but they're still the equivalent of having a big sign over your head saying
'I have no confidence in my ability to keep a straight face'.

I have a real hatred of sunglasses in poker.

# I watched a match on tv, where some little prick had sunglasses, a large baseball cap, and earphones on.
I was delighted when he got fucked by the flop.

# See, when I'm sleepy I'll call on the flop
go 'shit'
call on the turn
go 'oh for fuck sake Fae'
and then get a flush (usually ace high) on the river.

# Hmmmm, it was the 'very little chance of winning' bit that threw me.
That's not my experience of online poker. Over agressive spaniards that don't really know how to play (all in all in all in all in all in all in all in etc etc) is more what I've encountered.
